SCSI Controller Errors

J

James Royce

I am having a problem, or at least an error with a Sony SDT-11000 DDS
drive connected to an Adaptec 7902 HostRAID controller. When the
system starts, I get around 8 Event 11's logged in the error log (see
below). This error is also logged several times when running a backup
(using Veritas 9.1 + Veritas device drivers). Despite these errors
however, the backup runs with no problems! I have also tested the
drive with the Sony Tape Utility diagnostics which all pass
(incidently, the running of these diags also causes the error 11 !).

I have tries installing the Sony drivers in preference to the Veritas
- no difference. I have also moved the drive onto the first controller
- the only difference here is that the controller error is reported on
\Device\Scsi\a320raid1.

Additionally, and this may well be totally unrelated, but as the
server starts, I always get an Error 10010 logged also (see below). I
understand that the DCOM server reported is connected with the
Removable Storage Manager ? As I say, this may well be irrelevant!?

Do I have a faulty drive, or is this a Windows, configuration or
incompatibility problem ?

Many thanks in anticipation.

For info, I have now installed another SCSI controller in the system
to run the DDS drive and we are no longer getting the controller
errors. There is obviously some incompatibility between the Adaptec
HostRAID controller and/or drivers and the Sony drive.
